Sword of Sodan (ソード・オブ・ソダン) is a 1988 beat-'em-up for the Commodore Amiga by Discovery Software International. Innerprise ported it to the Sega Mega Drive for Electronic Arts in 1990.

The game is a simple side-scrolling beat-'em-up. B jumps, Down ducks, and C swings your sword. Enemy health is shown underneath the enemy. Enemies also drop potions that you collect by walking over them; the method of using these potions is currently unknown (TODO).

In a user ranking held by Japanese magazine Beep!Megadrive, Sword of Sodan was the most unpopular game out of 520 choices.
